Facilities

The recent College-wide curricular transformation has increased student engagement and rigor in all courses/programs, and has been greatly enhanced by many new campus facilities. Since 1980, TCNJ has added over $320 million in new and renovated buildings that beautifully support our educational and scholarly mission, including the Biology Building (completed in 2000) and the Science Complex (completed in 2002; housing Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics & Statistics). Along with Holman Hall (housing Computer Science), these buildings provide state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation for the School of Science.

Ever wondered how computers see? Dr. Andrea Salgian, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, has dedicated her career to the study of that very question through her work in the field of computer vision. Here at TCNJ, Salgian shares her expertise with students both in and out of the classroom through a variety of research programs, including gesture detection, face recognition, and an interdisciplinary project working to build a robotic “maestro” conductor.

As part of her MD/PhD coursework at Yale University, Katherine Uyhazi ’05 is doing research work at the Yale Stem Cell Center under the direction of Dr. Haifan Lin. In February, Uyhazi returned to TCNJ to give a talk, “MDs, PhDs, and Stem Cells: Everything You Wanted to Know but were Afraid to Ask,” as part of the Young Alumni Lecture Series.
